Studying for inservice

[eklope2000]

What is a practical question book/fact review book to use to study for the inservice exam (I'm PGY-2). I feel like other fields have such books but I'm not sure what we have in rad onc that's like that, if anything.

Old exams.

The only book that may be of some use for the clinical portion is the Hansen/Roach handbook, but it doesn't cover radbio or physics.

Past in-service exams. Many questions are repeated.

It will in the next edition coming out in a few months. But that won't help you for THIS in-service . . .

Are old in service exams and answers publically available?

Yes, the ACR has posted them on their website in the past. There should be PDFs floating around if you ask around.

Old exams. Same concepts are tested year after year. I've been through all the old exams since 2003 (yeah, I'm a nerd. I mean, it's Friday night, and I'm writing this) and the same topics come up year after year. You can definitely focus your study if you take a look at the old exams. Someone also mentioned the Hansen handbook--if you knew it cold, you would do very well on the clinical portion of the exam. That book is very high yield.

When is the new roach book coming out? I was going to order the purple book, but obviously I'll wait for the new roach book since it will be updated and is smaller. will there be a pda/iphone version of it this time??

Amazon had a release date sometime in April this year

I was wondering what time frame the residents of other programs take their in service exam on 03/04. We will take it at an aweful time from 2-6 PM after at least half day clinic.

 

[Gfunk6]

08:30 - 12:30

 

[iradi8u]

1:30 - 5:30

That's awful. I just assumed everyone did it in the AM starting around 8 or 8:30

8-noon as well.

8 to noon.

Does anyone have the 2007 Inservice exam with explanations for some reason I can't find that one. Thanks.
